All the Single People,
I want to start off by say that it is okay that you don’t have someone to be with. I know that it doesn’t seem like it, but it is. Just because everyone else around you has a significant other doesn’t mean you have to. Take it from someone who’s been single for almost 19 years of her life, it’s okay. I also know that a lot of people will ask you why you’re still single and give excuses for you as to why you aren’t dating anyone. You don’t need a reason or excuse. It is okay to be content by being single. One thing I always say is that I need to work on myself. I need to learn to love myself and take care of myself. If I can’t do that for myself, how can I do that for anyone else? And go and take time for yourself and work on yourself. Work on loving others and loving yourself. It’s so much easier when it’s just you that you have to look after.
Something I think more people to realize is that just because you’re single doesn’t mean you’re weak. Single is not a synonym for weak. Sometimes it’s stronger to wait for the right person than to go off with someone who will leave you hurting. I know that people think you’re weak but you’re not. You are proving to those people, the world and yourself that you are capable of standing on your own without someone else’s help. That’s what makes finding the right person so much better. When you let them in and truly love them, it’s because you want to love them and you want to let them in. You’ve been living life on your own for so long you don’t really need anyone else. But you want someone else. And that’s the beauty of it, not needing someone, but wanting someone.
Finally, there is someone out there for you. Whether you’ve already met him/her or you haven’t, there is this amazing person that is dying to fall in love with you. I know, it sounds really sappy and happy ending-like but it’s true. I’ve often thought that my future husband got himself killed somehow or that he’s in prison or something and I’ll never find him, but there is someone that is living, breathing and free on this earth looking for me. And there’s someone on this earth that is living breathing and free on this earth that is looking for you, excited to spend a lifetime with you. He or she has already given you his or her heart and can’t wait to have yours.
So, being single is okay, and waiting is the stronger option sometimes. Anyone who says differently probably hasn’t been in true love before so don’t listen to whoever said that. You are simply holding out for the right person and the reward will be so amazing. It takes time. You needn’t worry. Your true love is on its way. For now, sit back, relax and enjoy the single life.
